Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut cream
- ½ teaspoon fish sauce (or soy sauce)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or 1 tablespoon of honey)
- ½ lime (juiced)
- 1 clove garlic (finely minced)
- 1 tablespoon desiccated unsweetened coconut
- ½ teaspoon onion seeds (optional, as a garnish)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, add ½ cup coconut cream
- Squeeze ½ lime into the coconut cream and mix it together
- Finely chop 1 clove garlic and add it to the sauce.
- Add 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey) and ½ teaspoon fish sauce mix well.
- Do a taste test. Adjust it for the salt and sugar balance to your preference. Add more maple if you prefer a sweeter dip, and more fish sauce if you want a more savory dip.
- Add 1 tablespoon desiccated unsweetened coconut. This will thicken up the dip and give it a bit of texture. Add more if you want a thicker dip
- [Optional] Adding ½ teaspoon onion seeds adds a bit more spice and flavor to the dip.
- Enjoy with snacks!
Notes
- For a thinner dip, add 1-2 teaspoon of milk
- For a thicker dip, add 1 teaspoon of desiccated unsweetened coconut
- To make it even creamier, I like to sometimes add 1-2 tablespoons of mayo to the dip.
